CLARENCE W. PORTMANN
Judge Portmann of Massillon was
drafted to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of his personal friend, Judge
Charles Krichbaum. He is a young
man, 32 years of age to be exact, and
belongs to a family long known among
the leaders of Stark county.
He was born in Massillon and was
graduated frdm7 the high school in
that city. Then'.he'went to Western
Reserve where he received the degree
of AB iii 1920 and LLB in 1922! He
practiced . law in Cleveland for six
years as a partner in the firm, of
Horner Mason and'Clayton C. Bownes.
He returned to Massillon and after the death of Judge Haines was
appointed Municipal Judge by Gov-:
ernpr Donahey.7Last Fall he defeated
the former incumbent, Judge Arthur
Kaley, by the largest vote ever given
a candidate for that office in.Massillon. .
Judge Portmann is married and has
one child. In his two years on the
Bench not one of his decisions has
been reversed by the higher courts.
Knowing that he was a close persona} friend of Judge;Krichbaum, both
members, of the same college fraternity; knowing that he possessed legal
ability of a high order, and that he is
clean-cut-- and 'manly, the committee
wisely selected, him to run for Common Pleas Judge of Stark county for
the term ending Dec: 31, 1936.
The 'Sun has examined the record
of this brilliantyoung man, and in
all fairness^o; the public, it is asking
the peoplei "to 'yotefor him on Nov; 4.
He has a.naturally agreeable personality, gives unstinted service, to the
public, and sound adyice -perfected by
a close study of Jegal ^conditions and
|<n^lligerit»iHt^r^pi*etatioB thereof. Best
of _11 is his study of thdse"many, good
causes which the intricacies of daily
life call into being.

There is riot a man in Ohio better

NO ROUGH PFF
Halloween. Celebrationi Must Be Safe
and .Sane, Marshal Warns.
The promise of a safe,and sane Halloween was ; tendered North Canton
residents by Marshal Bachtel through
a writer for The S.un on Wednesday.
7 "We don't want any 'rough stuff'
in North Canton," Bachtel warned,
"and any boys caught damaging property or creating a nuisance will be
arrested. The night of Oct. 31 has
been set aside for the annual Mardi
Gras celebration, when boys and girls,
men and women can frolic to their
heart's content.
Destruction of property.arid premature celebration will not be tolerated
and will lead to arrest, as in previous
years. Rough action and property destruction passed out with 'the horse
and buggy, . There is - no place for
either in a modern town like North
Canton," said the Marshal.
Parents can avoid paying fines for
their children, Bachtel said7by seeing that, they confine their Halloween
celebration to the proper time and
manner.
The firm of Grafter _ Beggar, re-
tailand wholesale charity fakers, is
going under, if the plans of Superintendent Karl E. Gooseman of the
Goodwill Union Mission "and Industries on Tuscarawas Street East, Canton, receives the co-operation of the
public, The exact date of closing out
will be determined by the concern's
chief patron, John Citizen.
It is estimated that over $250,000-
000 is paid out annually by John Citizen to the street beggar and the fake
charity promoter. Thousands of dollars of this amount is paid out annually to this firm right in our community, according to Superintendent
Gooseman.
Professional Panhandlers
"It is the professional panhandler
that I am after," said Mr. Gooseman. "It is i said that research students from a leading university found
panhandlers in some of'our large
cities making as hi£h as $200 a day.
One of these men working a few hours
a day in-Canton can pick up between
$10 and $15,". continued Mr. Gooseman. . .T~-
"Our organization believe in helping people to help themselves. Why
do we dole out money to the unworthy
simply because they ask for it? I
grant you the story may be a good
one. It may be that the panhandler
will say he has not had a. bite to-eat
since yesterday, or it may be some
other kind of a sob story, but nine
times out of ten your money will be.|
used for drink instead of food. .-'
"I have known rnany of these felf
lows not only drink themselves, but'
keep four and five other men drirnkV
at the same' time. 7 •'.'■'y-'v'
Work: Tickets 7-fe"
"We have printed several thousand
white tickets whiish.-SSjad as follows:
'Go.ocl; F„r_ Eoo_,ancMLficlgiij_Jn_ Es-..
change For.-Work, At the Goodwill
Union Mission, '713 E. TuscaraVas
Street." 7 .
These tickets will be placed in the
hands of the business people and we
,simply ask them to give oneof them
to" the- panhandler, when solicited on
the street, at the office or home, and
write your name on the back of same.
The professional panhandler will
object arid possibly tell you that he
has been to our place and was turned
down. We want the public to believe
us in this matter and know that when
you send an able bodied man to us he
will be asked to saw wood or do some
other work for food "and lodging, but
will positively be taken care of. We
welcome investigation'at any time.
"Remember, the only objector to
this plan will be the man who wants
money for drink. Money saved in this
way will take care of every worthy
case in the community, even in times
of depression," continued the mission
superintendent. ' . ,
These tickets can be secured by
writing the Mission, 713 Tuscarawas
street East, or phoning your request
to 3-2500,
_ It is said that the demands upon
the Mission are unusually heavy at
the present time and that food, and
clothing is badly needed.

wears ho man's collar, and there are

down the road with a Democrat or

'With The Sun, although it recognizes
the fact that under the American system of government^ it is necessary to

Telling of the Activities of North Canton American Legion Post No. 419 and of the Legion Auxiliary
INSTALL OFFICERS
On Monday night, Oct. 20, an installation of the Post • officers was
held for 1931' in the auditorium of the
Community Building. >-The meeting
was opened by a selection of the -orchestra from The Community Christian church. A welcome to the visitor;} and an introduction of John Gorsuch, the installing officer, who "was
formerly Post Commander in- Canton^ was then given.
.A report-on the membership campaign which has reached the grand
total of 134 men was read followed
by telegrams from the National and
State Commanders. This' was followed by another selection by the probes;
tra and the regular opening for a
Legion meeting was held, consisting
of the advancing of the Colors, the
audience singing "America," a prayer by the chaplain and the Post reciting the preamble of the American
;Legion in unison.
The installation then took place
with Past Commander Herbruck of-
.ficiating. with Mr. Gorsuch. Each of
(the ^ew officers gave a short speech.
The eighth giade scholarship cups
which are donated by the Legion each
year were presented to Earl Fiank of
the parochial school and to Grace Gerber of the public school. Next year
'the Legion medal designed for that
wrpm wilt he awarded -Jn place ot
cups. -This was followed by the regular closing with benediction by ; the
chaplain ;'and a selection by the orchestra: Everyone expressed their de-
sire„to. help to make: 1931 the biggest

MEMBERSHIP
Again the boys of North Canton
Bsist have proven when a goal is set
it is a thing to be attained and not
just looked ;at. On Tuesday, Oct. 7„
a drive was started for-127 members
for North Canton Post. On.Thursday, <Oct. 16, 1'84 cards were sent in to
National and State'.-,. Headquarters.
This represents a lot of work on the
part <of all and the credit should go
to the Post as a"whole. It is the ambition ;of .the Post to attain • a total
membership of 158 before 1931 "is past
so that our Colors will again be decorated at the State Convention for a
twenty-five per cent, -increase ih membership. -Following are communica-1
tions received from the :National and!
-State Coinamndei-s, and it was with
a great deal of satisfaction to the
Commander' that North Canton Post
is no longer considered as a small
Post:
Gordon C. Curry,- Commandei
American Legion Post: JSeaitiest congratulations upon ', your, splendid
achievement in already reaching your
1931 membeiship- "quota-i-thig is a
most inspiring expression of your support to the national program and I
am very grateful for your co-operation—RalthT. O'Neal, National Commander.
Gordon C. Curry, Commander
American Legion'Post: The whole department appreciates your backing
that you are giving them and with
your leadership- the 1931 membership
for Ohio will undoubtedly be the largest ever. You are the first large
post to make your quota and are.only
second to a post that has twenty
members in.—John Elden, State Commander.
This will entitle us to the highest
citation it is possible, to obtain for
Legion work and it will be a thing
to be proud of for many years. Undoubtedly we will he given National
and State recognition for this feat
and we hope it is only the beginning
of things that are to be accomplished throughout the year.

DOROTHY KENNEDY DIES
Eminent churchmen, from various
parts of the_country spent two days
in North Canton last week as guests
of William H, Hoover. They were entertained at the Hoover lodge on
Thursday and Friday. The occasion
was the meeting of the Board of
Directors of the Community Church
Workers of the U. S. A.
The organization has to do with the
organization and development of various kinds of interdenominational
churches commonly called union
churches, federated or community
churches. It has headquarters in Chicago, and the Rev. E. Shields is the
recently elected secretary. He was
formerly pastor of the Community
church, at Mountain Lakes, New Jersey.
Community Churches Growing
Reports made to the organization
indicated that there are in this country 1829 of various kinds of interdenominational churches. Most of these
have been organized since the World
War. They receive all Christians on
equal terms without trying to convert them to any credal system. These
churches are often called "community
churches" because they feel specially called to serve the local community
and meet its particular needs.
Churches Consolidate
In many cases these churches have
resulted from a consolidation of two
or more local churches in a town or
village. As many as four churches
have been consolidated into one, with
a single minister, a single program
for education and service, though
sometimes maintaining the various denominational membership rolls. The
advantages said to accrue from this
arrangement are not only the saving
of money, but the avoidance of rivalries and- conflicts that too ofen go on
tvnvthe name of religion.:. , -., "•■;—■
"""The: new. secretaiy,: the Rev. Rich-
ard-_. Shields, brought to the meeting
a syllabus outlining the activities of
the organization for the coming year.
These included publicity for the community church idea, the organization
of new churches and the service of
the churches that are already organized.
The new secretary made a report of
the relationship of the Community
Church Workers to the Federal Council of Churches and the Home Missions Council. The three organizations have an affiliation and oftentimes the Community Church Workers
receives a commission to assist in the
consolidation of local churches where
this service is desired. Thus the big
over-head organization of American
Protestantism has recognized the validity of the work done by the Community Church Workers.
Officers and Board Members
The officers and board members of
the Community Church Workers are
as follows:
President, Rev. O. F. Jordan, Park
Ridge, 111.; executive secretary, Rev.
Richard E. Shields, Chicago, 111.; vice-
president, Rev. W. E. Grove, Tipton,
Mich.; treasurer, Samuel R. Guard,
Spencer, Ind.
Additional Members Board of Directors: Rev. Gilbert Counts, Chargrin
Falls, Ohio; Rev. David R. Piper. Elgin, III.; Rev. .Carl S. Weist, Mt. Ver-
j non. New York; Prof. A. W. Taylor,
Nashville, Tenn.; William -H. Hoover,

GOOD JUDGES
[AN KI.HTORIAL]
HE SUN hopes, and has good reason to expect, that the voters of
Stark county will forget politics
on election day when it conies to selecting Judges. Our lives and property
depend upon the man on-the Bench.
If he is weak, unsteady or lacking in
legal knowledge, then the people suffer and the law court becomes merely a play thing in the hands of lawyers.
A number of good men are running for Judges this year, and three
of them are outstanding characters,
Judge Henry W. Harter, Jr., Judge-
Edwin W. Diehl and Judge Clarence
W. Portmann. These three men are
exceptionally fine Judges and their
work on the Beiich is beyond anything smacking of criticism.
To defeat them, would be, in light
of present conditions, the poorest
kind of policy. They are fearless—
absolutely; they uphold the dignity of
the Law, and they see that all men
and women are. equal before tlie Bar
of Justice. ' They play no favorites
and they tolerate no nonsense from
any one. They are first class lawyers
and citizens of the highest order.
Stark countv needs such men as Diehl,
Harter and Portmann on the Bench.
A vote for them is a vote to protect
yourself if.you are within your rights;
to condemn you if you are wrong.
Keep them on the Bench by voting
for them on Nov. i. Harter, Diehl,
Portmann.

ITH the passing of Presiding
Judge Charles Krichbaum, the
Stark County Courts, the Bar
association, and the people as a whole
lose a citizen of rare worth—a type
of man that, even in academic circles,
is rapidly disappearing from the face
of our high-pressure and altogether
superficial American civilization.
Courtly and pleasing of manner, be
went forward modestly, yet firmly, doing his duty in his chosen profession
with a deportment and exterior entirely without pretension.
A character strong and true, holiest and fearless, he yet had the sympathy and understanding of human
weakness, which enabled him to help
others in a way that censure alone
would never clo. His remarkable
brain absorbed knowledge;, easily,
:which" "lie 1j#5i:fW7fp7'&':'■?-'''.'."i^itli
'fiiarked success. ir *
There was in him a spirit quick oi
understanding ancl his judgments of
people and things were sound and
abiding. Hence the loyalty of his
friendships, unshaken and unchangeable. Unselfish, self-reliant and splendidly hopeful to the last. • To .those
who were his close companions for
many years he was a happy and inspiring influence.
